Tag? whom-it may c o'nqern: f it k'nqw n that I, Bret-mm) FyDo wNmY, [citizen of the United States, and resident ilwaukee jn the county of Milwaiikee hi id State of Wisdonsin, have invented cer- @Blih new and I'I'Sf'lil Improvements in Ci 'a'r- Bend'i'ng M chirres; and I 10 hereby de'c are that the fnllewing is a full, clear, and exact deg riipzien therenf. The present invention is directed to the provision 01:; machine for applying bands to a l tlmugh the principles involved may a plicable to maehin s for securing bends or labels to various other articles.

The primary object of the invention resides injhe provision of a machine including a magazine for bands, menns for applyi'ng paste to and siic'eessively remeving bands from the magazine and means for bendin them nbeut cigar laced in the machine, whereby they may be properl aifixedi Anim meant and ind e s ecific object resides in tie provision of a single cam-wheel control for all the various mechanisms of the muehine Wherehy an exce'eding simplicity (1nd coiipemtim of pziits is procured.

Another object resides in the provision bf a member fol taking bands from the mn gitzine which engages suitable stationary paste 0i: other fluid supplying means reviously to its engagement with the megazine and wherein the paste applied thereto by such previous engagement serves as a means for catching hold of thelmnds, and also serves t'q apply the gum or paste to the binds whereby the ends of the bands may be pasted together during subsequent opera tions;

Another object resides in the previsihn of means for clamping the intermediate frtion of a band to :t eigan' and for hnl ili'g sa idvlm'fid and cigar for the olive-Mimi Of certil-iii means for bending the Mind about the eight! :iI'I-dp fiessing its pasted end against its-1m asted embi'n positibh on the igar.

A firth'r' pbje'ct in cnimection with the lime-zine resides in providing such a con; nectimr "etween the msign zine and the member'whiclr fillies 8; band therefrom that both fl f siriiti'l-tiil'icmls'ly moved in opposite directions iii extracting a band; whereby a ready detachment of the bands from the mega:

This their (fies il Wheel 15' f'jdisposeth e ijeiHTQx on the support, the band-carrying arm standing still during this movement. Bending fingers then move downwardly and bend the band at the sides of the cigar, an end securing finger actuated/by a second roller in the groove then bonds the unpasted end of the band inwardly under thc cigar and holds it and a wiper finger moves laterally and bends the pasted end of the band around the cigar, whereby the band is properly secured on the cigar. The clamping shoe then moves upwardly from the cigar and the end-holding finger is'retracted from be tween the ends of the band so that the cigar with the band pasted thereon may be wlthdrawn'from the machine. The machine is thus entirely automatic in its action, the only manual operation being feeding and r e moving the cigars. Reference is had to the accompanying drawings wherein similar characters of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views and in which:

Referrin said mechanisms in their initial now more particularly to the accompanying drawings, the referred embodiment of the machlne is s own as comprising a main standard 10 which is mounted on a base 11 and which is intermedi-ately provided with a sleeve 12 in which is threaded one reduced end 13 of a journal shaft 14. The other and forward end of the shaft is also reduced at 15 and carries an immovable sleeve 16 which is provided with cars 17 at its ends, 'to which are secured inner and outer vertical plates 18 and 19 having angularly bent upper portions 20 forming seats for the intermediate portion of a cigar and its innereiid: Mechanisms for bending and securing the end portions of the band under the cigar are carried .by the plate 19 and mechanisms for clampin the cigar on the seats 20 and for bending a and downwardly at the sides of a cigar are carried by a forward extension 21 of the tion. Joui"naled on the outer portion of the hub of the wheel is an arm 27 held adjacent the web of the wheel by a'sleeve 28 extending between it and the plate 18. The intermediate portion of the arm is transversely enlarged to rovide for an arcuate slot 29 in which is slihable a bolt '30engaged in the web of the wheel, whereby the arm is permit;- ted a limited transverse slidin movement on the wheel. The outer end o the arm is bent forwardly-from the wheel at 31 to pm..- vide the band-carrying finger, the outer end of the finger being provided with a cupped enlargement 32. I i

This band-carrying finger is adapted to extract a band from the ma azine, hereinafter to be described in detai by reason =of paste on said finger taken from the pastesupply means also to be described later-and to carry said band over the cigar-seating support portions'2 0 so that'the band maybe clockwise directionwithin the limits of their relative movement with respect .to thewheel by a spring 33 secured at to. .the-innenend:

As movement in the ortion 42 continues the bar 52drewn by t e shafts 37 moves downwardly, with respect to the links and moves the bars 48 and the band side bending fingers downwardly to the sides of the cigar, it be'in noted that a firm but at the same time yie din-g movement for these sidebe'nding fin ers" is had by reason of the slidplate 4 As the roller enters the portion 42 of the groove, this mechanism remains motionless holdin the cigar clamped upon the seat a the band bent down 'at the sides theneof, w die the ends are bent ,nnd pasted. Upon the roller entering the other grooved portion 42" the parts of the me'c-hanism are retracted to their original position.

As the bend-carrying finger moves into the position for placing the band over the cigar, it is momentarily held against movement to permit the clamping shoe to move to operative position byimeans of an angular stop 57 pivo' 'ed on :1 depending [)IOJEC) tion 58 of the plate 43 and having a retractile spring 59 secured to one arm and to the plate to urge its other arm into the path of finger.

Secured transversely across the front; face of the plate 18 and s wooed out;- wardl therefrom is a truck-bar (l on which is slitii tbl'y mounted it sleeve G5 marrying ll, pair of transversely s need ears 66, the outermost of which is 0 set forwardly from the sleeve. Slidwllv and ll'lt'titllllli mounted in-the ears is n shaft 67, Wlllltll exieml's rearwerdlyof the pint: through it frlmsverseslot 6s the-rein, and which has its rear endomwardly oil'rset at 6921;0- form the holding fin er for bendi-nig'end securing the un msterl en of the ban This finger is yie-dobly- I held in a raised position by a spring 70 secured to the sleeve and to an arm 71 projecting laterally from the forward end of theshaft 67. The finger 69 is movable to and from a position adapted to engage the unpasted end of the band, and is normally urged to such position by a spring 7 2 on the .shaft 67 between the ears and bearing against the ouermost ear and a stop 73 'on the shaft. The means for moving this finger to the ,rightfrom a position at the left of the machine, to bend the unpasted end of the band under a. cigar and hold it there during operation of means for bending the pasted end of the band includes a lever 74 which extends upwardly from a pivotal connection at 75 with the plate 18 and which has its'upper end bifurcated to slidably embrace a pin 76 projecting outwardly from the sleeve. A lever 77 is interinediately pivo'tedat 78 to the plate 18 adjacent the lefthand end of the bar 60 and is engageable by a stop 79 carried by the bar upon movement of the bar toward the left, whereby said lever is rocked. The lower end of this lever is connected to the intermediate portion of the lever 74 by a link 80 and thus such rocking movement will move the sleeve 65 and consequently the band end holding finger '69 to bend the end of the band under a cigar.

The initial relation of parts for such movement is indicated in Fig-12. Upon the finger being moved to this position, the lever 77 rides under the stop 79.

For bending the pasted" end of the band under the cigar, and pressing it against the unpasted end to effect a proper securement of the band, a wiper finger 81 isprovided, which extends upwardly from apivotal connection with cars 82 provided on the sleeve 16 and which,has-a flexible end portion formed in this instance of a rubber strip 83. This wiper finger is resiliently urged to a position wherein it extends at an angle toward the rght side of the machine by a leaf spring 84 secured to the sleeve 16- and slidably bearing against the said finger.

' :The bar carries an inwardly extending movement of its roller 63 in the groove banded cigar to be readily removed, a bar 86 is passedtransversely through the plates 1B and 19 and held thereby for sliding movemerit being normally urged inwardly toward ,of said plate an the main wheel 23 by a retractible spring 87. This bar carries, adjacent the plate 19, a laterally extending finger 88 which upon outward movement of the bar/is engageable against the shaft 67 at its offset to orm the finger 69, when said shaft is in a position for holding a band end. This outward movement of the bar is effected by a cam block 89 carried on the forward face of the wheel 23.

When the cam-roller 63 enters the second portion 4-2" of the cam groove,'the parts are}: moved back to initial position by moving" the bar v6O to the right. In this connection i t is noted that the stop 79 comprises a member pivoted to the bar 60 in such manner as to permit clockwise movement to facilitate its movement past the upper end of the lever 77. The end of the bar 60 carries a stop 90 which engages the lever 77 and swings it to move the sleeve and consequently the holding finger 69 to the left, the wiping finger being moved to the right by action of the spring 8 1 as the pin 85 moves to release it.-

Figs. 6 to 11 inclusive illustrate the cycle of operations heretofore described with re-.

spect to the cigar and band. The clamping shoe 46, the side bending fingers 49, the unpasted end holdin finger 69 and the wiping finger 81 engage t 1e band successively in the order named to properly secure the band, and upon the band being secured these parts .with the exception of the wiping finger which moves away therefrom during its operation, are withdrawn from the band in a simultaneous manner, the cam. block 89 being so arranged on the face of the wheel as to effect such simultaneous action with respect to the holding finger 69.

The means for supplying paste to the cup portion 32 of the band-carrying finger in eludes a receptacle 91 secured at the righthand side of the (plate 19 and-lying inwardly -ate manner as at 98. This 'plate is normally held by the spring 95' into raised position to hold its bent portion 98 slightly inthe path outwardly of the path of 'movement of the band-carrying finger 31. .Transversely journaled 'at the outer portion (of the receptacle is a shaft 92 which extends of the band-carrying finger 31, so that as I the finger moves past; it will have awiping engagement with s id PQtion 98 to obtain a e't ,-P- la, 1 at its m hla d h rgl i 1 @ePsrtieh 9 ttrips the fm 9 which he ls, W91 thus immerse the dew- Ki s. pmfhoht f he Pl t 97 PMMQ thet fresh u rly of Pes 18 33 and pe te ate 1 nd por- -WER a? ere 1 he. s e fie mqge ih W511? is PiEQXldecFa casing includi .thteidewel s99, he u e d w l 100 eerthebetthhuveh 01, he s ite wells betext A Eas he ottom al n P on a tand d 2 pstanrt wflbajse 1.1 to. permit pivotal i q gthe eti e m g n wh reby ed moves in. h. path para le o. nt 'e'p'et. e movem n o h b "er-e The upper h e rd rn is. resil ently urged into the set o the s i bhh re y g 1 gentile spring 103 secured to e Wlill 'portions and to the h f the r n p atelf hmu h he bottom wall 101 techs-h5g1 15a follower sh tft ca h ss. w t. i he hamber a o 05 which is resiliently urged to-,

t is seen that only a slight movement of the arm 116 serves to actuate the cum to relieve the spring pressure in the megezine. Further moyement of the wheel causes the arm 116 to swing the entire ma ezine outwardly with respect to the path 0% the carrying finger 31. 'The stop 117 and arm 116 and the carrying arm and its stop 114 are so relatively posltioned that both stops release simultaneously. Ihus the finger and magazine jerk. in opposite directions to the action .of their respective springs. It is noted that the arcs of movement of the corrying finger and 0:? the adjacent corner of the magazine intersect and thus as the finger and magazine move, the finger is pressed against the band to facilitate proper application of the paste 0n the finger to the band. It is seen that the finger is in engagement with the band end with out relative movement for considerable time and thus in combination with the pressure justmenvtionegl a proper sticking engagement ofthe paste is-assured so that the bend Will adhere toand be ca.-rriegl by the said' ctrry-ing finger.
